The Flood Movie Review

The Flood Movie Review

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 13

What do you get when you combine a natural disaster film with a prison breakout adventure and throw some killer alligators into the mix? The answer is The Flood, arriving on digital and on demand from Saban Films on July 14th. Though movie fans who enjoyed the CRAWL from a few years back may look at the movie poster for The Flood and fear that the film is treading in similar waters to that suspenseful alligator horror film, rest assured, there’s a very different animal lurking below the surface of this 91 minute throwback thriller. If you remember browsing the shelves of the local video rental store and hoping for a pleasant surprise when you took a chance on an independent action movie, The Flood is definitely going to make you nostalgic for that experience. With just the right mix of action, melodramatic horror scenarios and humor, it delivers a fun experience that looking at the “video box on the shelf” only hints at. Given the imagery used in promoting

Outpost Movie Review – Joe Lo Truglio Takes a Stab at Psychological Horror

Outpost Movie Review – Joe Lo Truglio Takes a Stab at Psychological Horror

, , , , , , , , , , , 7

Though known by television audiences of the last 30 years for his sense of humor, with his new thriller Outpost, writer/director, Joe Lo Truglio is out to prove that the trauma and lasting effects of spousal abuse are no laughing matter, but they can add up to a wild ride.  I have been a fan of Lo Truglio’s work as an actor since his days as a cast member on MTV’s sketch comedy show The State. So hearing that the comedic actor was taking a stab at psychological horror was a bit of a surprise. Little did I know that he had the goods behind the camera to deliver an experience that includes the shocks of Barbarian, the paranoia of Rosemary’s Baby and the wilderness terror of Deliverance. Outpost focuses on the character of Kate (Beth Dover), who after suffering a brutal beating at the hands of her husband after filing a restraining order against him, impulsively seeks a place to hide in isolation as a forest ranger on a

The truth. How much can you gain by bending it? How far will someone go to keep it hidden? How does it affect those who don’t know what it really is? These are just a few of the questions proposed by White Lie, a gripping new thriller from writer-directors Yonah Lewis and Calvin Thomas debuting this December from Rock Salt Releasing. As someone who watches a lot of movies, it’s rare that a film grabs me from the first scene and keeps me riveted in my seat to see it through to the end. White Lie proved to be one of those unique cinematic experiences that I couldn’t step away from. Generally my “Me Time” films involve super-humans, cult comedy and ironic viewings of “Bad Movies”, so it’s saying a lot that this straightforward dramatic tale of deception set in our modern times spoke to me so deeply. The poster for White Lie gives away everything about the plot, while saying nothing at all. In fact it leads only to

The bonds of high school friendships run deep, but the baseball bro camping reunion at the center of new mystery thriller, Stillwater from director, Nino Aldi shows that things can turn deadly 15 years after graduation day. Imagine the paranoia of John Carpenter’s The Thing set in the wilderness of The River Wild and you have the killer combination that births, Stillwater. Much like the group of friends in the film, I recently set-up a reunion with the members of my high school garage band nearly 20 years out from our last rehearsal. Unsure of how the chemistry would be after so long, soon the stories of the wild days of youth flowed freely and despite the Las Vegas setting of the meet-up, our weekend managed to avoid the frightening left turn that kicks off the action in Stillwater. Plot: A weekend camping trip among six old friends in Northern Minnesota’s “Boundary Waters” turns tragic after one dies under mysterious circumstances, triggering further turmoil as they attempt to unmask the
